Hello - my daughter had her assessment yesterday and it was confirmed she has ASD (apologies if I get the terms wrong, am very new to this!). In many ways it feels a relief that hopefully now we may be able to get a little support for her and learn strategies on how to help, but in others it feels quite overwhelming. I feel dreadful that it’s only now it’s been recognised and I didn’t realise as she was growing up.
my hope for her is that she will go to uni, start a career and find a loving relationship (not necessarily in that order!) - does anyone here have experience of supporting their child at this stage of their life? :)
Hello, can only offer hand hold as my DD 17 (18 in June) is very similar to yours and it breaks my heart.
